Zeitgeist Multi-disciplinary Arts Center in New Orleans, LA
Fourth NEW ORLEANS MIDDLE EAST FILM FESTIVAL - November 26 - December 5, 2010. In any writing or screenwriting class you quickly learn that the most important element to any good story is conflict. In the Middle East, conflict is a more abundant natural resource than even oil. Presented by Zeitgeist Multi-disciplinary Arts Center and curated by Rene Broussard, this remarkable program of films explore the extremely rich and complex history, politics and culture of this volatile region. Last year’s festival featured 72 Acclaimed and Award-winning new films from or about Afghanistan, Anatolia, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Qatar, Syria, Turkey, and United Arab Emirates shown over eleven nights with food, music, visual art and visiting filmmakers. The festival got international attention for being the “first film festival in the United States to publicly join the BDS cultural boycott of Israel”. This year's festival will coincide with the opening of the second INTERNATIONAL MUSLIM ARTISTS EXHIBITION 2010 in our gallery, being curated by Egyptian artist, Haithem Eid and will for the second year feature collaborative screenings with the Gaza International Documentary Film Festival.
